A. http://www.odysseynewsmagazine.net/
The Odyssey Online is an extremely interesting website in the fact that they use high resolution pictures in basically their entire website. All the different colors exemplify the rest of the website which in turn makes the stories more desirable to read.

B. http://ttonl.org/
This website is extremely similar to that of the TPP. I feel like the masthead of the website is something that is really effective in not only catching the reader's attention, but also keeping the website looking clean. As online editor of the TPP, I actually feel like this website is extremely similar to ours.

The thing I like most about this website is their focus on a specific color: purple. With defined portions of the website as always purple (such as the text of letters), it creates a uniform, but varied feeling to the website. I find this really interesting as it also goes with the font of the website, which just acts to make it more effective.

A. The first story that caught my attention is one about teachers now using social media and are now more involved in using applications like Instagram, Twitter, Vine. I feel like this helps to make a connection between students and teachers by  connecting what teachers do with students. Even if the teachers aren't necessarily familiar with this type of technology, becoming familiar creates a connection.

B. The second story that  caught my attention was one about students taking stimulants to study better. This is an issue that not only exists within high school, but on the collegiate level as well. I've even had some friends that have used or considered taking things like ADHD medication to help them concentrate to get better grades.
